Special deliveries


King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Infest The Rats’ Nest (Superbug Edition)
Whitney - Forever Turn Around (Chicago Edition)
Beast Coast - Escape From New York

All three came with some nice little bonuses also. Flightless sent the album in an additional stamped Manila sleeve along with a patch and a giant poster,Whitney came with a couple enamel pins, and Beast Coast came with a few stickers and a nice blacklight poster. I am a sucker for ephemera.

Well, this is a thing I own now. And damn, is it beautiful. I'm so glad I've learned to love Taylor's music. It's truly uplifting, happy and joyful. And Lover might be her best album yet. What a beautiful album. It's exactly what I need in my life right now

Before anyone asks, yes, this is hand signed. Not a digital print or anything of the sort. And damn, I'm happy to have it

Bob Brookmeyer & Friends
OG 2 eye


Lee Morgan - In Search of the New Land
White B with VAN GELDER stamp
Replaces a 75th Anniversary copy


McCoy Tyner - Extensions
The label says Blue Note Reissue series, but as far as I'm aware that was a series of reprints of 2 albums per artist and always came in a 2LP format remastered? This is just the regular single album and also from a VAN GELDER stamper. Weird! Awesome lineup for this album. Gary Bartz, Alice Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Elvin Jones!



Art Blakey Quartet - A Jazz Message
Late ABC Impulse! pressing
Blakey sans Messengers. Recorded during a brief lull in the band's schedule. Psyched to hear Tyner with Blakey. Really confused because I got this album today and have no idea where it came from. I had a different pressing from a seller in a different state in my cart the last week, but I haven't bought it. I have no record of buying it anywhere else either. I don't know how this got sent to me!

I love Extensions, one that I'm constantly on the look out for.

Ah fantastic, I will certainly be checking him out after this!

I have just been digging deeper into the Esquire label, as it seems crazy to me that they sell for the amount they do, and have just stumbled upon a crazy coincidence. So here I am reading up on this label, which by all accounts used the exact same stampers as prestige (who would ship them over) and it turns out they were based in Mitcham (south-west London). The crazy part.......im 4 miles away from Mitcham and can see the district from my flat window

If you want a John Lewis Tip, get An Afternoon in Paris. It has been beautifully reissued on Sam Records. As a matter of fact, everything Sam Records has put out is worth buying.

Dropped a ton on this bunch of DeAgostini reissues from eBay as I was really impressed by the first few I grabbed.

Some Blue Notes





Mercury



Impulse! and Verve



Riverside and EmArcy



Columbia and a stack of the magazines these were packaged in the stores with



I don’t know how informative these magazines will be but on first glance, they’re a damn sight more informative than the notes from a certain overpriced Anthology. This is the one that accompanied the Archie Shepp album.

First, fantastic haul as always.

Do all the DeAgostini reissues come with those booklets? Im a sucker for stuff like that - I spend wayyyy to much of my life reading about albums/artists.

And you've just reminded me about the existence of 'We Free Kings', love that album! Im doing to dig out my copy and give it a spin tonight!

Yeah, they did all come with booklet at retail. The first few I got from ebay last week didn't have them unfortunately and I think @MikeH said his hadn't either so some sellers I guess just find them dispensable.

And yeah, We Free Kings is great. I actually already have an old copy but under a different release name and artwork and while it plays nicely enough, I love the original artwork to splash a tenner on this copy.

Thats what I thought the case may be. Theres some that for a tenner I would have picked up knowing they have the booklet, but if not I might hold back on a few. Seems like you guys cleared out eBay for the time being anyway

Not sure what pressing mine is, it was a 50p find at a carboot a few years ago I think. Are you familiar with George Braith? He has 'kirk-vibe' about him. I picked up his debut on Blue Note the other month and was really impressed by it.

Don't know Braith, will look him up though.

Highly agree. I try to buy everything Sam records outs out.

Damn!! Where did you find all those other DeAgostini pressings?! I could only find very few online. Really want that Shorter and Monk and a few others. I think I’ll end up with 9 in total after my next batch arrives. And I would love to get the books but none of mine had any included...were those all eBay purchases?

All ebay, all from same seller. This is their link. Only a handful left though and looks like it must have been one of each as there's no duplicates of any I bought unfortunately.

It’s so difficult to find any older pressings of Braith that don’t cost an arm and a leg everytime I look. Just put an offer in for one on discogs but his stuff is pretty awesome and he didn’t seem to record many albums as a band leader.
